After a while far from you, I am finally back to our blog.I hope you all have been doing great.
What about your language studies?
It is time to update our English language abilities. Most of the time, non-native learners like us have been come across with verbs in order to express our own ideas, or even while listening or reading something, what sometimes might be a bit tricky. Please bear in mind that your contact with the language makes you growing up on your studies, becoming an effective user of English.
The problem is bigger as we face some specific structure of the language, which we are not familiar with. A good example is the “Phrasal Verbs. They are fundamental to everyone who has been studying the language because that is the way native speakers of English use it. I know there are many and many phrasal verbs, but do not be scared. There is nothing to be afraid of!
If you are willing to achieve a more native-like fluency in English, then sooner or later you will have to come to terms with phrasal verbs, and so learning how to apply “the classic ones” is really a must.
In other words, use “find out” instead of “discover”, “put up with” to “tolerate” instead of, “give up” instead of “desist” and so on. The more you face them, the more you learn.
Nowadays, more than never it is essential to be fluent in a language for the everyday life. Make it your motto! In case you want to search a little further about the topic, go to the internet and you will find a plenty of them waiting for you.
See you next time! Any doubt, you may e-mail me or talk to me around, and I will attempt to help you.
